I dont know if pre flop call is good. I assume Im ahead of his range.
I dont know if betting this flop is good, if so how big?
what would you do in this situation?

$1.75

i 3b pre vs the half stack alot.

as played, close to pot.

Yeah, 1/2 stacked and bets post big? He's happy to get it in with marginal holdings. 3bet pre imo.

I always bet too little in these spots so bikes sizing is prolly perfect. Obv call a shove.

I think you have to 3 bet. You dont want 2-3 calls behind as your relative position will be terrible.

Interesting responses. Particularly bet call it off! I b/f 1.5(I understand this is to small) getting it repopped by BB to 10 shorty folded, I folded. About pre I really don't know what to do vs shorties with hands like QQ and AK and hands like TT JJ. When he raises in ep I don't want to contort his range to being the bottomest pair and flipping with overs. I havent studied short stack strat but I don't usually see them stacking JJ or AQ when they raise/stack off in ep.

I'm not sure how QQ is doing here getting it in. I know AK is losing a little money unless they are crazy or just stupidly loose. Like if they are getting it in with JJ+/AK and opening a little wider then this. 3b/call it off is probably a little better then b/e.(Fish behind you make it a little more profitable, everyone playing good behind you makes it a little worst)

If they are folding JJ which is pretty standard as a default and folding AK which I would believe to be correct v the population at 25NL than 3b/calling it off is obviously going to be terrible.

You're pretty much spot on with your response by the way these people telling you to stick it in really have no clue what they are talking about.

I checking AK here, betting the Queens.

Uncomfortable spot though.
